I hear you, Michael. I love my novels heavy, dense, intense, with long descriptions and digressions, hundreds of characters, musings, answers that lead to more questions. Give me the whole Victorian canon and, of course, the Russians and Proust, Murasaki's "The Tale of Genji", and "The Dream of the Red Chamber", the Indian epics. We need strong readers and brave publishers.
